Rio Dove Load 20 Gauge 2-3/4 Inch 7/8 oz #7.5 Shot 1250 fps Shotshells | Upland Bird Hunting Ammunition | 25 Rounds | Model RDL2075 | UPC 8435101649001

The Rio Dove Load 20 Gauge Shotshells are specifically engineered for high-volume dove hunting and upland bird shooting. This 25-round box (Model RDL2075) features 2-3/4 inch shells loaded with 7/8 ounce of #7.5 shot traveling at 1250 feet per second. Rio has developed these loads to deliver consistent patterns, manageable recoil, and reliable performance in the field, making them a favorite among dove hunters who spend long days shooting large numbers of birds.

Optimized for Dove and Upland Hunting

The Rio Dove Load is purpose-built for mourning dove, white-winged dove, and other fast-flying upland game birds. The #7.5 shot size offers an excellent balance between pattern density and pellet energy. Slightly larger than #8 shot, #7.5 pellets retain more downrange energy while still providing dense patterns at typical dove hunting distances. This makes the Rio Dove Load #7.5 an outstanding choice for hunters who want a little extra knockdown power without sacrificing pattern quality.

Light Recoil for High-Volume Shooting

One of the biggest advantages of the Rio Dove Load is its relatively light recoil. The 7/8 ounce payload at 1250 fps produces less felt recoil than heavier 1-ounce or 1-1/8 ounce loads, allowing shooters to maintain accuracy and comfort during extended dove hunts where hundreds of rounds may be fired in a single day. This makes the Rio Dove Load an excellent choice for new shooters and experienced hunters alike who want to stay sharp throughout long shooting sessions.

Consistent Patterning and Performance

Rio ammunition is known for its consistent quality and reliable patterning. The Rio Dove Load 20ga shells are loaded with high-quality shot and premium components that deliver uniform patterns shot after shot. The 1250 fps velocity combined with the #7.5 shot size creates tight, even patterns that help increase hit percentages during fast-flushing coveys and passing shots. Whether you’re shooting over decoys, pass shooting, or walking up birds, these shells provide dependable performance that helps build confidence in the field.
